The Philippe Briand designed Sun Odyssey 45DS built by Chantiers Jeanneau needs little introduction. Supremely comfortable and with good performance, the DS line has proven very popular as a fast cruiser.
With 2 private owners from new, „Optimistic“ presents a superb opportunity to secure not only one of the most successful models in Jeanneau’s history, but also one that is equipped with nearly every conceivable extra to allow „off grid“ cruising. An overview of the highlights include:
6kw generator
Eco-Systems Pro water-maker
Hydrovane self-steering windvane
Efoy 150 fuel cell
3 x electric winches
High quality dinghy and electric outboard
Mainsail/genoa/standing rigging/running rigging all replaced in last 4 years
Sea Ventures have been involved with the yacht from build, supplying to the first owner, before part exchange back in and sale to the current owner in 2020…….so we know the history!
We highly encourage early viewings to appreciate all on offer.
